    "What's so advanced about this thing?" The researchers looked at the mechanical parts piled up by Chen Xin. They didn't feel at all how advanced this thing was. They even felt that the heating hub that had not yet been assembled was a bit primitive.  Like something from the steam age.

    Although steampunk was a popular element before the disaster, when many people mention science fiction, they like this style of painting full of steel, steam, soot, and industrialization, as if they were living in the 18th century.  The excitement of the Victorian era at the height of the first industrial revolution.

    But from a scientific point of view, this is still a very wasteful way of using energy.

    Although many science fiction works have injected indescribable black technology into steampunk, and even allowed a steam engine to drive a fortress to fly. The energy conversion efficiency of the steam engine can be amplified a hundred times, and the steam source can provide unlimited steam, relying on paper tape  The punched difference engine can develop artificial intelligence

    But only when the fuel is not fully burned will soot be produced, and only when the waste heat cannot be efficiently used and recovered will a large amount of steam be produced. From the perspective of modern industrial aesthetics, this is undoubtedly a huge waste.

    In the eyes of this scientific researcher, this pile of heating hub parts that have put a lot of effort into is not as coveted as the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace next to it.

    You must know that the metallurgical furnace uses magnetic field confinement, a technology that is difficult to reproduce in the laboratory, let alone to keep the liquid metal magnetic and still suspended at high temperatures.

    If we can master the magnetic field confinement technology, if nothing else, the research on controllable nuclear fusion will make great progress, making nuclear fusion a new energy source. Isn¡¯t this more efficient and cleaner than pumping geothermal heat?

    But Chen Xin didn't think so. Faced with the doubts of the scientific researchers, he just smiled and shook his head and said: "It itself is not an advanced thing, and there is nothing to say about the technology of geothermal resource utilization. It is just  Just pour water into the ground, use geothermal heat to heat the water, and then pump it up to dissipate the heat.

    However, the heat dissipation efficiency of this thing itself is very high. According to my design, it can create a heating field with a temperature rise of 50C within a radius of two hundred meters. If everything goes well, I can use this heating hub to  The snow at this train station evaporates instead of relying on manpower to clean it up.

    You just saw how people in this city load and unload supplies. If the train station is not cleared out, it will be difficult to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading supplies in this city.  "

    ¡°That¡¯s true, but I still feel it¡¯s wasteful to dissipate heat directly into the atmosphere¡­¡± The researcher struggled with his wording, not knowing how to say it without appearing rude.

    Regarding the researcher's dilemma, Chen Xin just glanced at him and did not comment too much, but still explained to him: "It is really wasteful to dissipate heat directly into the atmosphere. If this energy can be used more effectively, it can really be used  A bigger role, such as using thermal energy to generate electricity and driving electrical equipment to clear the snow, is more efficient.

    But now Linshi obviously does not have these conditions. We can only rely on this relatively extensive method to clear the snow at the train station. It will be a little wasteful for the time being, but after clearing the snow, I will use this heating method  If the hub is modified to provide heat and power to the train station, then there will not be such extensive heat dissipation.  "

    "So that's it, then it's indeed feasible." After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the researchers thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed feasible, and they quickly thought that this technology could be applied in  Other places: "For example, at a construction site, first establish such a heating hub, expand the heating field to increase the regional temperature, and allow the construction to proceed smoothly. After the construction is completed, the heating hub will be transformed and become the source of heating and power supply for the building.  , this is indeed a very feasible technology!¡±

    Hearing the ideas mentioned by the scientific researchers, Chen Xin nodded in surprise: "Yes, that's right! Your idea has wider applications and is more feasible than what I thought before. My original idea was to use the supply of  Heat hubs are used to build greenhouses, and now it seems that the application range of this thing should be wider!¡±

    "Greenhouse? It's a good idea to use this to build a greenhouse! In this way, some cultivated land that has been covered by snow can be reused! The country is currently short of food. If the use of part of the cultivated land can be restored, it can  What great news!" This scientific researcher is obviously not the kind of person who only focuses on scientific research and is indifferent to other things. When Chen Xin mentioned greenhouses, he naturally thought of cultivated land and food.

      Chen Xin also became interested at this time and wanted to have a chat with professional scientific researchers about this heating hub. Not only did he project the design drawing of the heating hub on the snow through a robotic arm, but he also projected it next to it.  Attached were the transformation drawings and the drawings of the energy tower. Pointing to these three drawings, he said: "This is the completed heating hub. According to the design, it has two forms. One is such a heat dissipation mode that can expand a radius.  There is another energy supply mode for the two-hundred-meter heating field, which does not dissipate heat, but converts thermal energy into electrical energy and supplies it to nearby places in need.¡±

    "So is this big one a heating hub in enlarged mode?" The researchers took a look at the two modes of the heating hub and then focused their attention on the drawings of the energy tower.

    "This is an energy tower. According to my design, it can mine deep geothermal resources below three thousand meters, and can be used in conjunction with a heating hub." Seeing that scientific researchers are interested in energy towers, Chen Xin also introduced enthusiastically:  ¡°Build an energy tower in an area, and then build a heating hub where it is needed. It is connected to the energy tower through pipelines, and the energy tower provides heat energy to the heating hub. In this way, a heating network can be constructed.  ¡±

    "Is this prepared for urban heating? It would be great if a geothermal heating network could be built in the city!" The researchers are looking forward to this and have changed their attitude. They are very optimistic about Chen Xin's project.  .

    On the other hand, the civilian official on the side couldn't get a word in. He only half understood what Chen Xin and the scientific researchers were talking about. Before they could even figure out what they were talking about, they had already changed the topic. This made the civilian official confused.  The official felt a little uncomfortable, so he took advantage of the pause between the two and interrupted: "Since Mr. Chen has decided to stay in Linshi for the time being, I will go back and reply to the superior department. But you are here to study this project and need to send someone to help.  "?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
